PIIP 2024 OVERVIEW

Adventures on the Data Continuum

The future of eDiscovery will not look like the past. As the legal dataverse becomes exponentially more complex, new technology and solutions are evolving at warp speed.

Caught in a swirling nebula of distractions, confusion, and competing information, it can be hard to find your bearings. As eDiscovery practitioners, we naturally turn to verifiable facts and data in order to understand: What does good look like? Are we making progress? Are we on the right course?

Discovery is not a solo mission. Unite at PIIP 2024!


Join fellow intrepid eDiscovery explorers for CDS’ 7th annual Putting Insights Into Practice Forum. PIIP 2024: ADVENTURES ON THE DATA CONTINUUM marks our fourth virtual journey through today’s biggest legal data management challenges.

PIIP blends the best of digital connectivity - a fun, free, flexible virtual forum - with human community - the exchange of original, unfiltered ideas through conversation, debate, Q&A.

Practitioners at all levels can use our forum to gain perspective, weigh options, strategize and prioritize. Engage with experts and take away tools, technology and practices that will help you focus your energy and amplify your impact.
